The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.
RamakrishnaPray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.
RamakrishnaMany people think they cannot have knowledge or understanding of God without reading books. But hearing is better than reading, and seeing is better than hearing. Hearing about Benares is different from reading about it; but seeing Benares is different from either hearing or reading.
Ramakrishna
